National Database and Registration Authority (Verification, Revocation and Cancellation of Identity Documents) Regulations, 2025
These regulations establish a formal legal framework for NADRA to verify, impound, revoke, or cancel identity documents where evidence suggests fraudulent acquisition, tampering, or eligibility violations. The policy mandates strict procedural requirements including personal hearings, the issuance of reasoned Speaking Orders, and clear timelines for notifications and appeals. Furthermore, it defines the composition and governance of Verification Boards at Zonal, Regional, and Headquarters levels to ensure centralized oversight and accountability in the maintenance of the national identity database.
